Question
Is there a way to popup a Window, like a message or a pause, without having it become the active Window on the desktop?
I am trying to make a reminder utility, but it's very annoying because it pops up and becomes active, thus grabbing my cursor from whatever I am working on.
Answer:
The following example should do it for Windows 98 / 2000.
Note: It will not work for Windows 95 / NT 4.0 Example:
IntControl(54,"",1,0,0)
IntControl(62,-2,0,0,0)
TimeDelay(5)
Message("Hello","There")
